The Position of Women in Hindu Civilisation, from Prehistoric Times to the Present Day c6.84

The difficulty in answering the question as to whether there should be a different curriculum for girls in high schools and colleges primarily arises from the fact that neither the scholars nor their guardians know definitely at the outset whether the students concerned are going to be housewives or are going to follow a career. In the case of a girl scholar intending to follow the latter alternative, it is clear that she will have to receive the same education as the boy student. A woman who wants to become a pleader or a doctor must obviously get the same education which a male pleader or doctor receives.
